On the subject of Cron,
When I was still running Fedora Core 3, I was running my freshclam's
using cron but found from time to time that when I came in to work in
the morning I would have 20 to 30 cron processes still holding on
chewing up resource but not finishing off anything.
This caused me i

I run freshclam in daemon mode for several servers processing several

Not even, just something so that the auditors have a paper trail and don't
think funds are being missapropriated.
I would imagine that the "legal entity" of ClamAV is not registered in the
same tax neighbourhood as a great may of its users a

Assuming of course that you don't end up with hundreds of spawned cron jons.
For some reason, I have seen more often than I care to think, multiple cron
jobs firing off freshclam and then not hanging up.

I suppose a better wuestion would be:
How often do you want to scan these files?
The reason this becomes important is that if you are going to be doing this
overnight during server
Or if you maintain a file with the filenames and paths that you want to
scan, you can use cat to output each line of that file to clamscan in the
same fashion.
cat filename | xargs clamscan

find (options) | xargs clamscan
So to search all files in home
find /home/ |xargs clamscan
Or to scan only certain files of specified size (thanks to Noel Jones for
this one)
find / -type f -size N | xargs clamscan

you also need to make sure that the query dns line is uncommented, freshclam
